This game seems to be proof positive that this hobby is now for the homeowner and not the operator. When I was at Marvin's yesterday in Michigan, 3 balls got stuck over the course of 2 games. And none of them were in places that a ball search could do anything. In the first game, it got stuck in one of the pop up targets. In the second game, it fell off the left cross ramp and onto the pops. Because of the rubbery objects on top of the pops, the search did not wiggle it free. And the third one was on the left ball return wireform. The ball went off the track and got wedged. The attendant was very nice, but said that it happens "all the time".
